Abstract

A system is provided that manages a geographic space including a route on which a moving object moves, including a plurality of subsystems operable to respectively manage maps of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing the geographic space, and a region manager operable to adjust loads of the subsystems by dynamically changing a boundary of at least one region among the plurality of regions. Also provided is a method and computer program product.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a region manager operable to;

communicate with each of a plurality of subsystems operable to respectively manage maps of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing a geographic space including a route on which a first moving object moves; and

adjust a data processing load of at least one subsystem by changing a boundary of at least one region among the plurality of regions.

2. A method comprising:

communicating with each of a plurality of subsystems operable to respectively manage maps of a plurality of regions obtained by dividing a geographic space including a route on which a first moving object moves; and

adjusting a data processing load of at least one subsystem by changing a boundary of at least one region among the plurality of regions.
